Using of software reuse approaches to develop ugelib web application

Abstract EN

In most engineering disciplines, systems are designed by composing existing components that have been used in other systems.

Software engineering has been more focused on original development but it is now recognized that to achieve better software, more quickly and at lower cost, we need to adopt a design process that is based on systematic software reuse.

The Application system reuse involves the reuse of entire application systems either by configuring a system for ah environment or by integrating two or more systems to create a new application.

This research discusses the development of systems by reuse-based model and explain their benefits, some problems and illustrates different approaches.

Therefore, adopts tow of these approaches (COTS product reuse , Generative Programming ) to build a web application project named UGELIB (User Growth Electronic Library) which designed as Web site consists of networked database.

We use the apaches web server with SQL and PHP languages within that server to construct the web components.

Some of these components are COTS and others are constructed by the project team.

The site allows for visitors to explore, open, download, and uploads materials.

Thus, this approach satisfy the public interest.
